To be pissed off that mnhq claim they don't like to delete threads but do it constantly?

Another one has just gone. One which could have done with staying and just having certain posts deleted.

Not even a deletion message.

Ffs.

Of course not there.

But if it happens anyway, that isn't bad surely?

People posted for whatever reason - not with the intent to educate, but if it happened, then good.

If one person thinks (positively) differently about how to think/feel/act with someone with SN, is that not better than nothing?

Minty they said it on the thread. And by email to reporters

Only1scoop · 03/08/2014 22:36

The Op had loads of thread history though....

slithytove · 03/08/2014 22:36

One poster in particular who I don't know if I can name on a TAAT? Posted very eloquently about the topic, and certainly made me question my thoughts. As did you fanjo.

Not that I considered myself disablist to begin with, but there is certainly always capacity for more understanding and a better way to deal with things.

Yes trolls often do, only1

slithytove · 03/08/2014 22:37

I suppose even long standing posters can be trolls only, it's happened before.

Since they are sad with no lives and lots of spare time

thereturnofshoesy · 03/08/2014 22:38

Only1scoop a lot of trolls do
they go to meet ups as well
but still are trolls

Only1scoop · 03/08/2014 22:39

I guess so....I must say I have never changed my mind so decidedly on a thread before.

People don't always bother to name change.
They just pretend they have been hard done by and misquoted.
Like the troll OP did.
All they way through the thread.
I doubt anyone who agreed with her will bother NC.
They will just wait for another thread, carry on the same way and act outraged when challenged about their views. With no posting history to prove they have form they just get to start all over again

Yes.

MNHQ please start deleting and stop letting us educate

WatchingSeaMonkeys · 03/08/2014 22:40

Would you like to tell people what you posted Watching?

Can't MNHQ would tell me off again. Wink

Sorry Fanjo.

You are right Maryz.

Will I get a kicking if I say you've educated me Wink

I guess I'd have got there after seeing it over, and over, and over.

And thr thought of a thread ruining someone's day/week/whatever, or making them feel even more alone or self conscious, whatever, isn't worth it.

Still think mnhq shouldn't claim they don't like to delete threads though.

OP posts:
Only1scoop · 03/08/2014 22:42

Maryz....I did have a quick read through and yes I also thought so. Some odd posts.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 03/08/2014 22:43

Anyway I hope the goaders who are still reading and posting feel glad they made several strangers have a crap day for no reason.

Very fulfilling.

Am off to sleep

WatchingSeaMonkeys · 03/08/2014 22:45

Have you considered apologising for it?

No, because you took it totally out of context to how it was meant & were too busy getting righteously outraged to take any notice of my explanation afterwards.

If you want to have a grown up talk about it via PM fine, but I'm not going to do it here.

Yes, I do see what your saying Maryz.

I missed the end of the thread and probably missed some of the worst content.

I conclude iabu.

Sea monkey, why don't you be an adult and admit using the word "toe rag" was vile? Why not cop to your post instead of backpedaling and stating it was taken out of context? Please explain exactly how toe rag used to describe a person could ever be anything except an insult? Have the courage of your convictions, if you are going to be a cunt, be a cunt with decency to stand behind your words.
